Late abubaka audu to be buried today

The All Progressives Congress
governorship candidate in Kogi state
who died on Sunday will be buried
Monday morning according to
Muslim rites.
His opponent at the polls, Idris Wada
who is incumbent governor of the
state has declared seven days
mourning for the late Audu.
The APC governorship candidate,
Prince Abubakar Audu, who was
waiting to be declared the winner of
the election, has instead been
declared dead.
He was said to have had a massive
stroke around 3:10 pm today in his
village of Ogbonicha and died.
Some minutes after INEC returning
officer Professor Emmanunel Kucha
declared the result of the poll
inconclusive.
Family sources told PMNEWS that
Audu has had a history of heart-
related problems.
He was said to have fallen ill after
casting his vote Saturday afternoon.
Sources said at a stage, he was
vomiting blood.
According to sources, Audu was said
to have fallen ill after he cast his
ballot in his village of Ogbonicha
On Saturday.
Sources said he was vomiting blood
at some stage, but was stabilised by
doctors around him.
However his condition worsened this
morning, culminating in a massive
stroke.
Just when an air ambulance was
being organised to lift him for better
medicare, he gave up the ghost.
Audu, from the results declared by
the INEC, from the 21 local councils
in the state, had won 16 and was
clearly ahead of the PDP opponent
and incumbent, Idris Wada.
But INEC declared the election
inconclusive, despite projections by
the media that he had won. A lesson
to the media not to project election
results again.
